This is the complete edition, which includes the 40-page Editor's Introduction. This well-known study is essential reading for those interested in the importance of culture and how to nurture its positive growth. Creating a harmonious growth of all facets of culture has become much more of a challenge in modern times. Following the precepts of this book can help insure success. Arnold is a champion for what he called an "organic" society--one that evolves slowly, grows into maturity, and avoids making great leaps into new forms of change that could, as a result, create trouble. There have always been those who are unhappy and wish to stir up unrest. If society can remain strong from the foundation that it has built, then anarchy will develop no foothold. Arnold provides a clear contrast between culture and the unrest that was prevalent in Victorian England, when this book was written. We can learn much from this study. From time to time, deep divisions can emerge in society. These social divisions often come from those who hold more radical ideologies from the norm. They attempt to create mistrust of authority, stereotyping, and the growth of fear in an effort to incite others and bring down the system. From studying this book one can better see how we got where we are today, and what may be needed to keep us going in a relatively safe way into the future, despite the increasing complexities we now face in the world today.

Culture and Anarchy: An Essay in Political and Social Criticism 1869 by Matthew Arnold. Culture and Anarchy is a series of periodical essays by Matthew Arnold, first published in Cornhill Magazine 1867-68 and collected as a book in 1869. The preface was added in 1875. Arnold's famous piece of writing on culture established his High Victorian cultural agenda which remained dominant in debate from the 1860s until the 1950s. According to his view advanced in the book, "Culture ...] is a study of perfection". He further wrote that: " Culture] seeks to do away with classes; to make the best that has been thought and known in the world current everywhere; to make all men live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light ...]". His often quoted phrase " culture is] the best which has been thought and said" comes from the Preface to Culture and Anarchy: The whole scope of the essay is to recommend culture as the great help out of our present difficulties; culture being a pursuit of our total perfection by means of getting to know, on all the matters which most concern us, the best which has been thought and said in the world, and, through this knowledge, turning a stream of fresh and free thought upon our stock notions and habits, which we now follow staunchly but mechanically, vainly imagining that there is a virtue in following them staunchly which makes up for the mischief of following them mechanically. My foremost design in writing this Preface is to address a word of exhortation to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. In the essay which follows, the reader will often find Bishop Wilson quoted. To me and to the members of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge his name and writings are still, no doubt, familiar; but the world is fast going away from old-fashioned people of his sort, and I learnt with consternation lately from a brilliant and distinguished votary of the natural sciences, that he had never so much as heard of Bishop Wilson, and that he imagined me to have invented him. At a moment when the Courts of Law have just taken off the embargo from the recreative religion furnished on Sundays by my gifted acquaintance and others, and when St. Martin's Hall iv] and the Alhambra will soon be beginning again to resound with their pulpit-eloquence, it distresses one to think that the new lights should not only have, in general, a very low opinion of the preachers of the old religion, but that they should have it without knowing the best that these preachers can do.
